Hey guys,
I need help, iv been following this guide http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server
but, iv come to the point where I have to edit the xstartup scripts, however i dont know exactly what to put for this command "mymachine.localnet:1.log passwd xstartup"

Your help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Ben

That's not a command. It's the files in the .vnc directory. The result of running the 'ls" command

Code:

[~]$ cd .vnc
[.vnc] ls
mymachine.localnet:1.log  passwd  xstartup

You can use your favorite text editor
I use:
vi xstartup
